You need to have your <plugin> entry available under
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<!-- add your plugin entry here -->
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
But you have added it under <pluginManagement> which is usually used to control plugin behavior for projects that inherit from the current one. See here for more information.
